My uncle says the same thing..

Hes a michigan Fan
Red wings fan

Im a state fan
Avalanche fan

So we always duke it out when ever they play eachother. And pull out the xbox to settle to see whos better (I always get stomped on NCAA football, kind of sucks)

Blame my friend in the 4th grade for getting me to like the avs (now im graduated lol), floor hockey was coming up and he was a goalie and had a colorado helmet and I thought it looked pretty cool, so I picked one up and became a goalie (usually was on offense) and loved them ever since..weird eh lol

j/k I remember the Wings - Avs rivalry, it used to be something special, I just don't think it will be the same with the salary cap and all the changes that are bound to happen. Oh well, at least I'll be watching the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup this season.

Go Wings!!!!!

Hey Rolando, do you remember a certain playoff game a few year back, a game 7? I do believe your team got its avs kicked.

Yeah, I'm thinking that was the game the Roy gave up, what, like 6 or 7 goals..... Boy I loved watching that game

I was at that game...best day of my life. I've got a boat load of pics someplace. Free tix from my buddy's girlfriend's pops (he wouldn't let us sit in the press box though ). Apparently he is/was some big wig hockey columnist. We got to meet McCarty too.
